FAQ
What makes the RS2 OLIVE effective in tailwater conditions?
The RS2 OLIVE’s minimalist profile allows it to sit just in the film, mimicking natural emergers and blending with the surface movement, which helps fool selective trout during midge and mayfly hatches.
Is the RS2 OLIVE suitable for use in still waters?
It is primarily designed for technical tailwaters. Performance in still waters may vary due to differences in current and insect behavior.
Can the RS2 OLIVE be used during non-hatch periods?

Amelia Hughes –
Used the RS2 OLIVE during a late spring trip in a cold tailwater. The fly sat perfectly in the film and triggered several trout during a midge hatch. Very natural movement and hard to detect. A solid choice for selective waters.
Madeleine Miller –
Felt like a natural emergent when fishing in a fast-moving stream. Got a few strikes during a small mayfly hatch. Slightly more delicate than other patterns, so need to be careful with casting.
Dylan Smith –
Perfect for targeting trout that are picky during emergent stages. The fly blends well with the surface and didn’t spook any fish. Highly recommended for tailwater anglers.
